May I share an email which I received with you?  It’s from an inspiring lady in New Zealand called Sheryl who signed up for the 7 Fed Up to Fabulous tips on this website and found the weekly newsletter tips to be a real lifeline… she gained great value from her mentoring call… this is her story.  (Sheryl’s given her permission for me to share with you.)

Send me an email to arrange an informal chat about how my mentoring could support you to step up and realise your potential – I’d love to hear from you ali@daringdamsels.com

Hi Ali

How can I tell you how much your call to me meant? We had such trouble with the time zones but managed it finally with your mathematical brain, thanks for loaning it to me :)

When I first saw the ad for Daring Damsels I was at a really low point in my life, with not enough income, a troubled relationship with my daughter, and not enough to do. I had moved to this city a year & a half earlier, and still hadn’t formed significant relationships, which bothered me a lot. 

Especially being a people person. I had got to the point of either checking out finally from my lot, or doing something about it. That’s when I looked up your website and subscribed to your newsletters. 

I have to say they were very encouraging, a string to hold on to… a lifeline if you will. I loved the positive affirmations video and shared the information on Facebook, hoping it would encourage others as it had done me.

As I continued to read I thought a lot about who I am and what I want out of life. For me it’s to have significant bountiful relationships with the people in my life. I want to nurture and grow those relationships, while being true to who I am, and what I believe in.

I started to set some boundaries in my life, and it’s changed a whole lot of things. I lost people along the way who didn’t ‘get me’, and the places I go and people I see are different now. I only hang out with the people I like mostly hehe, family are a no choice zone sometimes. 

I only compromise sometimes because it’s easier for me than for them. I’m a giving person so I like to give of myself and my skills and abilities where I’m able. As long as I don’t deny myself doing it.

When we got to the mentoring stage via Skype, I had come to that place, and for you to affirm me in the way you did, really helped. I was still a little unsure of whether I was headed in the right direction. Now I KNOW I am, and am going to make this MY TIME TO SHINE. 

Life is not a rehearsal, you reminded me of that. We only get one go at it. I’m still learning and hope to continue to do so, as I mature like a delicious blue cheese…just gets better with age.

I will continue to pass on what I’ve learned Ali; once again thank you so much for sharing your time and skills with me.

With much love and appreciation

Sheryl

Are you ready?

Have you ever considered who your greatest teachers in life may be?

These teachers often are unaware that they are shaping us to be the person we have become or are becoming.

Someone I know said recently that her dog is amongst her greatest teachers.  I would have to agree with that for myself. 

Until last autumn my girls and I had a beautiful, tiny, fluffy white Maltese terrier called Winnie.  Winnie taught me much about living in the moment, not holding onto worries or concerns, feeling free, every day was a new day for him.  He was always exploring and making new discoveries.  He was fearless in many ways too – going to new places, introducing himself, making new friends big and small, he didn’t mind getting in a mess if it meant he was having fun or having a different experience.  He would even get into a bit of trouble if it meant he could have what he wanted.

So many of us hold back who we really are and share with the world only a small fraction of what we truly are capable of.  What is it that we are frightened of?  Could it be that we don’t want to make others feel uncomfortable or jealous?  Is it that we don’t know if we can carry it off – and that failure is around the corner and we worry what people will think of us?  Do you do that too?  What is the worst that could happen? 

Imagine if you chose to live more like Winnie, just consider how different your life could be.  What could you achieve that would make your heart sing, what would you be doing differently and with whom would you be sharing your life with?  As you are reading this now, I have a feeling that you are more than ready.

Sometimes it takes courage to acknowledge when you are holding back; to take a leap of faith in yourself, commit to your future by honour yourself and stepping up to greatness.

If you have a feeling that this is your time and you are thinking it’s time to step up and really go for it – then join my mailing list by adding your details in the box to the left or make a note in your diary to pop back here soon as I have a very special announcement to make next week.

Wishing you happiness – and a fabulous weekend!
